Valley City, ND – There are a lot of questions about the new garbage containers and the automated truck, so the Commission wanted to get you some of the key information while They continue to work out all of the details. As of now the plan will be to start with this new process the first week of June. We know this will be a process with some growing pains but please bear with us as it will be a work in progress.

1. All residential properties will get be getting one 65 gallon container.

2. There will not be a charge for this first can. (There would be a charge for replacement cans.)

3. There will be a clear bag with all of the details attached to the container when they are delivered.

4. Each tote will have a barcode on it so it will be specific to each address.

5. These totes will be delivered by a 3rd party directly to each residence on the address side of the house the week of May 22nd.

6. Regular cans will no longer be allowed, as the new truck will not be able to pick those up.
